Summary | Removing nvidia driver entail removing of many packages | "zypper rm" removes depending packages instead of auto-selecting packages providing the required libs (regression?) |
Flags | needinfo?(ma@suse.com) |
Looks like I can reproduce that issue. Instead of automatically selecting Mesa-libEGL1 package in order to sustain the libEGL.so.1 requirement zypper rm nvidia-glG04 (providing libEGL.so.1) just removes any package depending on it. IIRC this behaviour has been different in the past, i.e. zypper rm automatically selected the package which provided that requirement. How come that the customer ran into that situation? Most likely the NVIDIA repo has been added already during installation, so the drivers were already autoselected during installation. And therefore dependancies to libEGL.so.1 were already satisfied by nvidia-glG04 package coming from the NVIDIA repo. Setting NEEDINFO to our zypper guys.
